The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has announced a temporary closure of a section of the Thika-Kilimambogo (A3) Road at Gatuanyaga near Delmonte Farms from Friday, September 11, to Friday, October 2, 2026, to allow pavement construction works.

The closure will affect the section between Km 16+000 and Km 18+250, where KeNHA said works will be undertaken on a failed section of the road.

Motorists using the Thika-Kilimambogo road will instead use designated diversion lanes provided at the affected section to minimise disruption during the construction period.

According to a notice shared by KeNHA on September 17, motorists have been advised to follow the traffic management plan and observe road safety measures while using the diversion routes.

“Motorists are further advised to follow the proposed traffic management plan as well as cooperate with the police and traffic marshals on site,” KeNHA said.

The temporary closure is expected to remain in place for about three weeks, with normal traffic operations set to resume upon completion of the works.

The latest closure comes as KeNHA continues to undertake maintenance and rehabilitation works along major roads in Nairobi and neighbouring counties.

The authority has also been assessing the condition of roads in Kiambu County as part of efforts to identify sections requiring maintenance and timely intervention.

A week ago, before the latest closure notice, a KeNHA team assessed several road sections in Kiambu County to establish their condition, monitor ongoing maintenance works and identify areas requiring timely intervention.

The inspections form part of the authority's broader efforts to monitor road infrastructure and address sections that require rehabilitation or maintenance.
